Rats are a persistent and widespread issue in the UK, causing significant damage to properties and posing serious health risks to both humans and pets. These resilient pests often gain access to properties through drainage systems and are exceptionally difficult to eradicate once they establish a presence. Traditional rodent control methods, such as traps and poisons, can be not only ineffective but also hazardous to the health of household members. For example, rodenticides, which are chemicals that kill rodents, can be extremely harmful to children, pets, and wildlife, if they come into contact with them.
This is where RatGate Rodent Prevention Devices come into play — they are a ground-breaking solution specifically designed to prevent rats from entering properties via the sewer system by creating a physical barrier. The devices fit seamlessly within drainage systems, allowing water and waste to flow freely, whilst at the same time stopping rats from pushing against them and gaining, or regaining, access to the property, thus, safeguarding properties from potential infestations. Unlike conventional methods, RatGate offers a proactive approach to rodent control, focusing on prevention rather than eradication.
RatGate devices are designed with durability and effectiveness in mind. They are manufactured using high grade laser cut stainless to ensure long-lasting protection, and include a patented liftable flap that makes them the only product on the market that allows you to open the flap from the top of the chamber. This is vitally important as it means that the RatGate doesn’t have to be removed from the drain should any drain maintenance, such as camera inspections or jetting, be needed.
For drainage engineers and pest control professionals, including RatGate installations as part of your service offering can enhance your value proposition. By providing a reliable, long-term solution to rodent problems, you can build trust with your clients and differentiate yourself from competitors.
